Dented Filter Ring Repair Tool
Any feedback on these?
They are quite expensive but do they have high success rate over the wooden dowel and hammer approach? _________________ Rectilux 3FF Series single focus anamorphic attachments

For a badly dented ring the tool can be easier but for most dents the hammer method works better, even when I've used the special tool to get things back into shape I have needed the hammer and dowel for a bit of fine tuning. |

The rest on the anvil jig is to hold the long lens in place and keep it level so I could do the repair without needing three hands.
I've repaired badly dented filter rings using this method, most of which you would never tell they were previously dented. _________________ LENSES & CAMERAS FOR SALE.....

Complete b-s.
Thread pitch is different than on filters (larger), so it will damage your lens irreversibly, beware! _________________ I have nothing to compensate with lens |

Do you mean to say "Filter Ring Dent Repair Tool"? One dented could easily "add", rather than "subtract" to number of dents in a filter ring. _________________ ☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮ like attracts like! ☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮
